Day 4: Who said romance was dead?

This is just going to be a quick one because i'm on a computer with very bad connection and in fact only half of the letters displayed on the keyboard (apologies in advance for all typos)

We are still doing well! Last night we saw the sun set over the TajMahal before it disappeared into a sand storm and this morning we scooped the least-romantic trip to the Taj Mahal award by, now how to put this politely, basically Rob had your classic case of Delhi-Belly and i had a Kat-classic case of everything disagreeing with me. So, between Team 365, we had it coming out of both ends as the Indian sun rose over one of the 7 wonders of the world and a man proposed to his girlfriend nearby. Who said romance was dead, eh?

Tonight we're on a sleeper train to Varanasi (which should be interesting) - a mere 10 hours, see you on the other side!

Day -0.1: The show must go on

Well after much ado and a number of PR-strings being pulled with the family Branson (luckily it seems Kat's brief career as a round-the-world-balloon-puncture-repair-assistant wasn't to go completely to waste) here we are!

Iceland? What volcano? No 20,000 meters of molten rock, glass-like shards of ice and toxic ash was going to stop Team 365 on this trip.

We have, as you can see, been enjoying basking in the awe of the magnificent Taj Mahal in beautiful Agra.

Having been there, it really is difficult to describe in words the sheer scale and spiritual significance of this sacred structure. Rudyard Kipling once described it as 'the embodiment of all things pure' - and Team 365 couldn't agree more.

But hey ho! The show must go on, and with India done and metaphorically dusted we're heading east as planned to white beaches, blue seas and a clear Thai sky.
